Pilates Classes in Barrow upon Soar

Movement is medicine & never have I known this more as I recover from my radical hysterectomy following a womb cancer diagnosis in October 2023.

What I also know to be true is that being physically fit & teaching Pilates for almost 20 years stood me in good stead for my recovery journey & brought me back to teaching Pilates.

Movement is Medicine.

FABilates is my unique blend of Pilates & Functional Movement & you can chose between 60 minutes of focused mobility, flexibility & supple strength, with the added benefit of light kettlebelles to support bone health, heart health, grip strength, cognitive function & your mental health.

My 2 hour Friday night Chillates where we will move together, meditate & connect to bring more flow to our bodies. This monthly event includes an essential oil experience & some grounding Cacao to open our hearts.

Pilates is designed to give you suppleness, grace, and skill that will be unmistakably reflected in the way you walk, the way you play, and in the way you work.”

Joseph Pilates

FABilates is my own special blend of Modern Pilates, Biomechanics Coaching, Faster Functional Fitness and Diamond Pilates for pelvic floor health.

Plus the use of light kettebelles for all the added benefits of weight bearing, especially as we navigate our way through our menopause transition.

These Pilates classes are perfect for those who want to maintain or increase suppleness and mobility and are perfect for those at any stage in pregnancy. (please note if you are pregnant and new to the class you will need to attend a private 121 session to ensure I can provide you with specific coaching for your needs – for costs and details please contact me).

I have taken all my learning over the last 22 years and blended the different disciplines to bring you the best possible class for body and mind. These exercise disciplines combine the focus on suppleness that you find in Pilates and Yoga, the freedom of movement from Biomechanics Coaching, with the emphasis on strength building found in the gym. In this way it aims to create balance and natural poise, taking into consideration all the factors involved in the maintenance of a healthy body and mind which is unique to you.

Modern Pilates offers a different way of thinking about your body. Through practicing the movements, you will become more self-aware and better able to take control of your body and your life.

FABilates is not an “instead of” but an “as well as” – it does not replace your current exercise programme, but rather compliments and enhances it by improving the way your muscles work together – so whether you are a runner, swimmer, footballer, rugby player or aerobics bunny – FABilates will improve your performance and results. All classes can be adapted to your own unique body and your ante and post natal needs.

In a calm, friendly and relaxed environment FABilates gives you:

Long, lean, toned muscles
Improved flexibility & balance
Better posture
A healthy back
Perfect body shape
A calm mind
Improved pelvic floor control

Her knowledge and understanding is phenomenal and her professionalism is perfect. But, in every treatment and consultation I have had with Mairi, her true heart shines through. She is a guiding light for all those things that you never new would work for you. Thank you for your continued advice ❤️

Highly recommend Mari for her wonderful massage, completely put me at ease and makes the most amazing blend of oils personalised for your needs. Leave feeling rejuvenated and relaxed.

Mairi offers fantastic services bespoke to your needs and I highly recommend her. I’ve had wonderful massage treatments and I’m always asked what I want from the treatment before hand so Mairi can tailor it to exactly what I need at that time. Her knowledge is a blessing and always happy to offer support and advice. She creates a safe and supportive space for your needs. Certainly helped me no end! Thanks Mairi!💚 Amazing results

Mairi offers such a great range of services, all aimed at making you feel like the woman you deserve to be. I've had gorgeous Aromatouch massages that are so relaxing and really give you that pampered feeling that we all sometimes need! Mairi's knowledge of essential oils is superb and after a chat about what you need help with she really will find you an oil for that! Couple that with a fantastic crystal bracelet too and you also have some soothing sparkle in your life as well. I regularly attend Cacao Ceremonies led by Mairi and love the community she has built that join in. Always a safe space to take part as much or as little as you desire and experience this yummy plant medicine ❤️
